10 Pictures By Rooftopping Daredevils In Singapore Who Risk Their Lives For The Gram

‘Rooftopping’ In Singapore For Instagram May Be Illegal

Although your friends may judge you for standing on the table to snap a flatlay of your stone-cold meal for Instagram, these Singaporean Instagrammers have taken ‘doin’ it for the gram’ to new heights. Literally. The latest trend to hit Instagram apparently involves dangling off the ledges of skyscrapers to get the perfect shot.

Disturbingly, the actions of these self-proclaimed ‘rooftoppers’ do not appear to be entirely legal.

Getting The Money Shot

Despite accusations that they have entered private buildings without gaining prior permission, some ‘rooftoppers’ have vehemently denied that they are guilty of trespassing, according to Channel NewsAsia’s (CNA) report on 14 Dec.We take a look at 10 money shots by these millennial daredevils and consider if any of them are worth risking human lives over.

1. Casually checking out a camera roll while chilling on a ledge

In this meta shot of someone taking a picture of a photographer taking a picture, we do appreciate the stunning view of Singapore’s cityscape.

3. Taking a walk on the wild side

Though we’re sure he enjoyed the uninhibited view of the clear skies, we think this guy’s idea of a leisurely walk is pretty extreme.

Given Singapore’s unpredictable weather, there’s no guarantee if the floodgates will be released while he’s still up there. Of course, this may be a slippery slope kind of argument.

4. This wanderer must be lost

Though Hollywood heists do involve an unnatural amount of masked vigilantes in exhilarating rooftop chase sequences, this photo actually shows just how dangerous it is to take a gamble at it — without the necessary safety precautions.
